    Nice to see the inclusion of the OPS and SIP teams in this talk. As mentioned in this talk, there is quite some reactive work in these teams, as well as planned/structured work. It would be nice to see how these teams organize themselves to respond to reactive work and still get their other work done; while still adhering to the calm workplace that 37signals stands for, and possibly coping with the cycle approach.

    Guys, can you dedicate an episode where you take us through the beginnings of 37 signal? How the co-founders met. Did you decide to build something first and get to know each other and go from there? At what point and which milestone did you decide that this is the founding team. Or was it love at first sight? 😀.
